Hebrews 2:5-8
Christian Standard Bible

Jesus and Humanity

5 For he has not subjected to angels the world to come that we are talking about. 6 But someone somewhere has testified:

What is man that you remember him,
or the son of man that you care for him?
7 You made him lower than the angels
for a short time;
you crowned him with glory and honor[a]
8 and subjected everything under his feet.[b]

For in subjecting everything to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. As it is, we do not yet see everything subjected to him.(A)

    or mortals that you care for them?[c](B)
7 You have made them for a little while lower[d] than the angels;
    you have crowned them with glory and honor,[e]
8     subjecting all things under their feet.”

Now in subjecting all things to them, God[f] left nothing outside their control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to them,(C)
